I am able to run discourse forum applications  
locally on ubuntu 14.04 without any problems. Now I am trying to make it  
work on Heroku. I am stuck.  
I am using Mandrill starter for emails, rediscloud:25 as addons.

Here is what I did:  
I added mandrill details and hostname in  
discourse\_quickstart.conf, I added redis host url which I got from  
rediscloud. I gitignored config/discourse.conf file.

Also I am not sure on “what to do/how to set” the following commands since I am using rediscloud

```
heroku config:get OPENREDIS_URL
heroku config:set REDIS_PROVIDER_URL=<result of above command>
heroku config:set DISCOURSE_REDIS_HOST=<host from above command>
heroku config:set DISCOURSE_REDIS_PORT=<port from above command>
heroku config:set DISCOURSE_REDIS_PASSWORD=<password from your provider>
heroku config:set DISCOURSE_REDIS_DB=<dbname from your provider>

```

I have the following error. Please help

```
